1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionDiagnoses of type 1 DM (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in youths present a substantial clinical and public health burden. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and trend of T1DM and T2DM, among children aged 0-14 years, in Qatar.

methodsThis prospective cohort study was performed to ascertain all new cases of T1DM and T2DM 2 in Qatar as per the registry of the National Paediatric Diabetes Centre (the only tertiary care center treating children with DM in Qatar. Age-standardized and age-specific annual incidence rates for age groups 0.5-14 years were calculated.

resultsA total of 440 youths with T1DM (0.5 to 14 years of age) and 45 with T2DM (5 to 14 years of age) were identified in Qatar. The inclusive unadjusted estimated incidence rates of T1DM in this population over the period between 2012-2016 was 28.39/100,000 with a 95% CI of 31.82-40.03. This was significantly higher compared to the unadjusted estimated incidence registered between 2006-2011 (23.15/100,000). No case of T2DM were registered before 2008. In the following years the incidence of T2DM increased from 1.82 per 100,000 in 2012 to 2.7 per 100,000 in 2016, with an incidence of T2DM equal to 2.9/100,000 per year.

conclusionsA relatively higher incidence of T1DM compared to incidence reported worldwide have been documented in Qatar. The incidence rate increased in the period 2012-2016 compared to 2006-2011. Further studies are required to determine the causes of these increases.
